97 Housing and homelessness volunteer roles

Clean bedding and towels keep our guests comfortable and happy and that’s where our Laundry Volunteers make a real difference. 

You’ll be helping behind the scenes to make sure everything is fresh, clean, and ready for the next night at the shelter.

What you’ll do

• Collect laundry from the office Monday - Friday.
• Wash and dry bedding and towels either at home or at a launderette.
• Return the laundry by the next scheduled laundry day so it can be packed and loaded onto the van for the shelter.
• Handle bedding, pillowcases, hand towels, and body towels for up to 12 guests each night.

What you’ll need

• Access to transport and the ability to carry laundry bags.
• Willingness to follow hygiene and care guidelines.
